In the second year of the Grand Duke's reign, May 25th.
Outside Beijing's Yongding Gate, the three best actors in the world - Emperor Kangxi Chang Ning, Genghis Khan Burni, and Nalan Mingzhu, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty and a loyal queen of the Ming Dynasty, all stood respectfully, holding their heads on their heads. Under the scorching moonlight, beads of sweat rolled down their three bare foreheads.
Hundreds of civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty, Taiji from the Outer Mongolian tribe at the mouth of the Pass, as well as envoys from various countries stationed in the Qing Dynasty who came from Tianjin Prefecture, as well as Catholic missionaries who did not follow the real Emperor Kangxi when he fled, now They were all waiting quietly under the bright sun outside Yongding Gate.
And the person who can make these people ignore the summer heat in Beijing and come all the way to bask in the sun outside Yongding Gate is of course the current Emperor of Heaven, the Confucian sage, and the Grand Duke of the Ming Dynasty who may soon become the maker of the Eastern order. Emperor Zhu He died.
The expressions on these people's faces are of course very different. Of course, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were all happy - they were the great contributors to expelling the Tartars and regaining Shenjing!
The three major actors had pious expressions on their faces, with such expressions that they could even hold incense and worship God.
The most entangled ones were a group of foreign envoys from Tianjin Prefecture and some missionaries serving the Qing Dynasty - because Emperor Kangxi wanted to obtain the most advanced Western firearms technology to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and also wanted to use the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Spain to fight against the Ming Dynasty. A profiteer bought sugar at a high price, so he still has a relatively positive attitude on the issue of communication with Western civilization.
However, Kangxi's opening up did not take too big a step. He only opened a treaty port in Tianjin Prefecture and allowed envoys from Eastern and Western countries to stay in Tianjin Prefecture permanently. Of course, these Western envoys stationed in Tianjin Prefecture are not ambassadors or ministers, but consuls. In the diplomatic system of the seventeenth century, ambassadors and ministers were generally formal envoys sent by a country's government.
Consuls are more often representatives of a business group or expatriates. Sometimes they also shoulder the mission of their respective governments. Sometimes they only represent business groups or expatriate groups, which is a relatively vague existence.
However, Zhu Heji, who ruled the Ming Dynasty, did not allow the existence of such semi-official and semi-merchant consuls, and did not agree with the autonomy of foreign business groups that entered the Ming Dynasty for business. It is almost common practice outside Europe for foreign business groups to have "extraterritoriality." No one thinks that wrong. But Zhu Heji just didn’t allow it!
In addition to not allowing extraterritorial jurisdiction and the existence of unofficial consuls, Zhu Heji also prohibited the spread of Catholicism within the Ming Dynasty! The reason is that the "right to protect religion" and the "ban on Confucianism" that Western countries have implemented in the past two years - the "original monarch" and "original minister" system caused a stir after being brought back to Europe by Western missions and businessmen. The monarchs of various European countries were extremely disgusted, so they ordered a ban on Confucianism.
Faced with the ban on Confucianism in the West, Emperor Kangxi had no reaction. But Zhu Heji immediately strengthened the ban on Catholicism!
Another thing that worries Westerners in East Asia is that Zhu Heji resolutely refused to recognize the international order of Nanyang and East Asia, and was also prepared to resort to force - he did not relax his persecution of Japan because of this Northern Expedition. , still want Japan to give up their "Chinese Dynasty" and join the Ming Dynasty's "Chinese Dynasty"... Japan is a big country with a population of 20 million!
Once Japan is forced to surrender, Zhu Heji's empire will have a population of 80 million or even 90 million! This will allow the Chinese dynasty to surpass the Catholic civilization in Europe in terms of population and become the second largest civilization in the world after India, a large country in South Asia!
What worries these Europeans who know China even more is that the Chinese dynasty still has the entire production capacity of sugar, the important raw material of sugar gunpowder, the most powerful weapon of mass destruction in this era!
Although Europeans can also use brown sugar produced in the Americas (which has more impurities) to prepare sugar gunpowder, according to repeated tests by military experts from various European countries, the power of brown sugar gunpowder is only about half of that of sugar gunpowder prepared with military white sugar. .....
Therefore, European countries and the Ottoman Empire have imported military white sugar from the Ming Dynasty at high prices in the past two years... This is a big killer, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!
Because the Ming Dynasty had military sugar stuck in its neck, none of the Western governments dared to openly become enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Even Spain, which was threatened by the Ming Dynasty on Luzon Island, could only swallow its anger...otherwise Spain would not have Military white sugar, and Louis XIV can get double the military white sugar, then the Kingdom of Spain may be about to welcome a king named Bourbon!
Thinking that this difficult Zhu Heji was about to win the war against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, none of these foreign devils said anything, but looked far south.
I don’t know how long I waited. It was not until the sun gradually moved to the center that I saw the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who were following Liu Jinzhong, Wang Shiyuan, Wang Fuchen, Zhao Zhongyi and others in Beijing. They went out of the city dozens of miles to meet Emperor Zhu Da’s group of cuirassiers flying. He also rushed back and shouted from a distance towards Yongding Gate: "The Holy One is here, the Holy One is here!"
Not long after they finished shouting, a red flag appeared on the horizon in the distance, with a red background and flame patterns, and a golden sun and moon pattern on it - a round sun on the left and a crescent moon on the right, forming a The word "明" (明) appeared, and at the same time there was a flag with the words "天下为公" (天下为公) with white characters on a black background. Two large flags were fluttering, and then came a field of shining silver helmets and pointed spear points. At the end, thousands of cuirassiers and dozens of high-ranking civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were seen. , surrounded by Zhu Heji, appeared in sight.
These more than a thousand cuirassiers all rode tall "foreign horses" and wore polished silver breastplates. More than a hundred cavalry formed a team, forming a neat and dense formation, galloping towards them, a sea of silver The light is shining and seems to go straight into people's hearts.
Who said that the Ming Dynasty did not have powerful cavalry? This is clearly the most powerful cuirassier regiment in the East!
Even before they take action, the Qing Dynasty can no longer withstand it...
Burni, Chang Ning, and Mingzhu all know how to cavalry. Seeing the scene of thousands of cavalry galloping, their faces turned a little pale. Those Mongolian troops who came with Burni also held their breath and just looked in front of them. The scene - the Mongolian cavalry they are proud of, in front of these cavalry equipped with foreign horses and breastplates, with "money ability", is simply heaven and earth...
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Heji had already galloped up to Burni, Chang Ning, and Mingzhu, reined in their horses, and looked at the three of them with a smile, as if waiting for them to perform.
The three of them were stunned for a while, and then they all knelt down to Emperor Zhu Da who was riding on the horse. They knelt very reverently, lying on the ground with their buttocks sticking out, like slaves.
The three of them still have lines!
Burni spoke the lines first, and he loudly said in Chinese: "Burni, the king of the small grassland country and the Khan of Chahar Tribe, comes to see the great emperor. Burni is willing to follow the great emperor to fight against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and drive out the Huru. Long live the great emperor. age!"
Well, the Mongol Khan wants to help the Ming Emperor drive away the Huru... If Genghis Khan finds out, he might come back from Changshengtian to settle accounts with this unscrupulous descendant, right?
Then there was Chang Ning, who also said in Chinese: "The chief of the small state of Jianzhou, Aixinjueluo. Xuan Ye, came to see the great emperor. Xuan Ye was also willing to follow the great emperor to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Xuan Ye was willing to lead the way for the king... .”
Okay, Zhu San’s grandson rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi went to be the vanguard. Isn’t this a loser?
Finally, there was the pearl. He also said loudly: "Nalan Mingzhu, the granddaughter of Beile Jintaiji, the loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty, came to see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I wish my emperor long life and unification of the universe as soon as possible..."
The unified universe is here!
After Zhu Heji watched the three people's performances, he burst out laughing on the spot: "Hahaha, good acting, good acting, I believe it!"
What does it mean to act well? The three people lying on the ground were all shocked.
Then they heard Zhu Heji's smiling voice: "Everyone, get up. Come into the city with me first, and then tell me, what do you three want?"
